RIP, David Kelly.

Despite playing old codgers, he was one of life's great dandies. His actor friend Niall Buggy said: "He was the best-dressed actor I've ever known – even when I look at myself." Happily married to the actor Laurie Morton, whom he met at the Gate theatre in the days of Hilton Edwards and Micheál Mac Liammóir (they founded the theatre in 1928), Kelly was always attired off stage in hand-stitched shirts, Jermyn Street suits and a trademark bow tie.
